Over 24 hrs, Radio will continue its exploration of contemporary poetry with guests from every sphere: artists Orlan and Nathalie Talec, author Camille Laurens, director Pascale Ferran, poets Jérôme Game, Giovanni Fontana, Franck Smith and Felicia Atkinson, and composers Aurélien Dumont and Patricia Alessandrini, along with many others.

As the main interview guest, Jacques Roubaud will wrap up this third edition with two hours of round table discussions about his work. Born in 1932, Jacques Roubaud has been developing a vast body of work since the 1960s that spans the centuries, from the troubadours to Oulipo. Jacques Roubaud has published poetry, prose, plays and works of literary theory. He has also translated Lewis Caroll and Charles Reznikoff, and penned many works for children. Even though he was awarded the prestigious Grand prix national de la poésie for his entire collection of works in 1990, he says that he hates competitions and examinations.

One of the highlights, Le Grand Live (Friday 1 July, 9 pm to 11.30 pm) is an exploration of Spoken Word, presented live, in public and for listeners. Black Sifichi will be performing, as well as the PLY duo, which is made up of Mathias Delplanque and Guillaume Ollendorff, while The Ex guitarist Andy Moor will be playing alongside the New York musician DJ Rupture. The Big Live Show will wrap up with a concert given by the rapper Sensational, a personality who is as rare as he is legendary and atypical, having collaborated with Spectre and lent his voice to Stockhausen.

Established following an initiative by Anne-James Chaton, RADIO explores all the aspects of contemporary poetic creation, through debates, lectures, concerts, performances, interviews, fictional films and documentaries. Broadcast live on the Fondation Louis Vuitton website and also open to the public, the RADIO programmes attract a wide variety of players involved in poetic creation from all around the world: authors, editors, magazines, art schools, research centres, performance venues, festivals, etc.

RADIO airs a broadcast for each of the four seasons from December 2015 to October 2016, and is also a space for creation through the commissioning of original compositions from poets, musicians and mixed-media artists.
